Add commas before Icon and Action, so it is more readable and correct.

The xterm command line syntax is incorrect, it should be:
Exec xterm -bg green -fg black -geometry 120x30-75+80 -e /usr/bin/pine -p /home/jcline/.pinerc-mcgill
Ampersand is redundant. Please ask questions on the list, not privately.
